Books added by users should optionally have the ability to get #tagged by users who either added the book, or those who rated the book.

The usefulness here is in discoverability, so that users who have read a book could help visitors both #find and decide if a book may be for them, based on some book-specific attributes, such as atmosphere (mood), or others. The Storygraph has something similar with their moods feature:

For example: #moody, #melancholic, #hopeful, #philosophical, or #femaleprotagonist ... etc, tags that are not just simple genre categorizations and would display books with that tag regardless of it being in a collection, or not.

While I am neither a designer, nor a coder myself, the visual implementation could be as simple as:

Thank you for considering such a feature,

I like this idea. Just need to remember that most ActivityPub software doesn't recognise hyphens (-) in hashtags, it should instead be #LikeThisWhenConnectingWords
